INTRODUCTION.
I commenced the study of Ethnology in 1830; in which year
having occasion to deliver an introductory lecture on Anatomy,
it occurred to me to illustrate the differences in the form of the
skull as seen in the five great races of men. After the lapse of
but twenty years the fact seems strange even to myself, that when
I sought the materials for my proposed lecture, I found to my
surprise that they could be neither bought nor borrowed.
Caucasian and Negro crania were readily procured, and two or
three Indian skulls were placed at my disposal ; but for the
Mongolian and Malay I inquired in vain. I resolved, therefore,
to supply this remarkable deficiency in an important branch of
science ; and much time, toil and expense have been rewarded by
the acquisition of 867 human skulls and 601 of the inferior
animals. Yet I need hardly add, that had it not been for the
exertions of my friends in every quarter of the globe, my object
would have remained unaccomplished. The following pages
afford emphatic evidence on this point; and it gives me great
pleasure thus to record the kindness of those persons who have
aided me in an enterprise that, for obvious reasons, has been
attended by many difficulties.
IV INTRODUCTION.
The primary motive in making the following collection, has
been to compare the characters of the cranium in the different
races of men, and these again with the skulls of the inferior
animals j not only in reference to exterior form, but also to
internal capacity as indicative of the size of the brain.
Beside these strictly Ethnographic objects, some others of a
different and subordinate kind have been had in view ; such as
pathological conditions of the skull from diseases and from
wounds; remarkable developments illustrative of the principles
of Phrenology, and preternatural growths of every description.
The Indian crania contained in this series have received my
especial attention, both in respect to their number and authenticity,
for they have been collected with great care by the gentlemen
whose names are associated with them. In every instance where
a doubt is entertained as to the tribe or nation to which the skull
belonged, it is expressed by a mark of interrogation ; and where
no clue exists for such information, the deficiency is noted
accordingly. I have sometimes had the skulls of both Europeans
and Africans sent me by mistake for those of Indians : that
these should occasionally be mingled in the same cemeteries is
readily understood ; but a practised eye can separate them without
difficulty.
Large as this collection already is, a glance at the Ethnological
Table will show that it is very deficient in some divisions of the
human family. For example, it contains no skulls of the Eskimaux,
Fuegians, Californians or Brazilians. The distorted heads of the
Oregon tribes are also but partially represented, while the loner-
headed people of the Lake of Titicaca, in Bolivia, are altogether
wanting. Skulls also of the great divisions of the Caucasian and
Mongolian races are also too few for satisfactory comparison, and
the Sclavonic and Tchudic (Finnish) nations, together with the
Mongol tribes of Northern Asia and China, are among the especial
desiderata of this collection.

INTRODUCTION. VII
The letters F. A. express the facial angle, and I. C. refer to
the internal capacity of the cranium as obtained by the process
invented by my friend Mr. J. S. Phillips, and described in my
Crania Americana, p. 253, merely substituting leaden shot,
one-eighth of an inch in diameter, in place of the white
mustard-seed originally used. I thus obtain the absolute capacity
of the cranium, or bulk of the brain, in cubic inches; and
the results are annexed in all those instances in which I have had
leisure to put this revised mode of measurement in practice. I
have restricted it, at least for the purpose of my inferential
conclusions, to the crania of persons of sixteen years of age and
upwards, at which period the brain is believed to possess the adult
size. Under this age, the capacity-measurement has only been
resorted to for the purpose of collateral comparison.
All the measurements in this Catalogue, both of the facial
angle and internal capacity, have been made with my own hands.
I at one time employed a person to aid me in these elaborate and
fatiguing details ; but having detected some errors in his measure-
ments, I have been at the pains to revise all that part of the
series that had not been previously measured by myself. I can
now, therefore, vouch for the accuracy of these multitudinous
data, which I cannot but regard as a novel and important contri-
bution to Ethnological science.
It is necessary to add, that the measurements originally pub-
lished in the Crania Americana were made with seeds, which
will explain the discrepancy between the numbers observable in
that work and this catalogue. The measurements of the Crania
^Egyptiaca having been originally made with shot, require no
revision : nor can I avoid expressing my satisfaction at the
singular accuracy of this method, since a skull of an hundred
cubic inches, if measured any number of times with reasonable
care, will not vary a single cubic inch.
I am now engaged in a memoir which will embrace the
detailed conclusions that result from these data ; and meanwhile I
submit the following tabular view of the prominent facts.

INTRODUCTION. IX
In this table the measurements of children, idiots and mixed
races are omitted, excepting only in the instance of the Fellahs
of Egypt, who, however, are a blended stock of two Caucasian
nations, — the true Egyptian and the intrusive Arab, in which the
characteristics of the former greatly predominate.
No mean has been taken of the Caucasian race* collectively,
because of the very great preponderance of Hindu, Egyptian and
Fellah skulls over those of the Germanic, Pelasgic and Celtic
families. Nor could any just collective comparison be instituted
between the Caucasian and Negro groups in such a table, unless the
*It is necessary to explain what is here meant by the word race. Further
researches into Ethnographic affinities will probably demonstrate that what
are now termed the five races of men, would be more appropriately called
groups; that each of these groups is again divisible into a greater or smaller
number of primary races, each of which has expanded from an aboriginal
nucleus or centre. Thus I conceive that there were several centres for the
American group of races, of which the highest in the scale are the Toltecan
nations, the lowest the Fuegians. Nor does this view conflict with the
general principle, that all these nations and tribes have had, as I have else-
where expressed it, a common origin; inasmuch as by this term is only
meant an indigenous relation to the country they inhabit, and that collective
identity of physical traits, mental and moral endowments, language, &c,
which characterize all the American races. The same remarks are appli-
cable to all the other human races ; but in the present infant state of
Ethnographic science, the designation of these primitive centres is a task of
equal delicacy and difficulty. I may here observe, that whenever I have
ventured an opinion on this question, it has been in favor of the doctrine of
primeval diversities among men, — an original adaptation of the several races
to those varied circumstances of climate and locality, which, while congenial
to the one are destructive to the other ; and subsequent investigations have
confirmed me in these views. See Crania Americana, p. 3; Crania
JEgyptiaca, p. 37; Distinctive Characteristics of the Aboriginal Race of
America, p. 36; Silliman's American Journal of Science and the Arts, 1847;
and my Letter to J. R. Bartlett, Esq. in Vol. 2 of the Transactions of the
Ethnological Society of New York.

X INTRODUCTION.
small-brained people of the latter division (Hottentots, Bushmen
and Australians) were proportionate in number to the Hindoos,
Egyptians and Fellahs of the other group. Such a computation,
were it practicable, would probably reduce the Caucasian average
to about 87 cubic inches, and the Negro to "8 at most, perhaps
even to 75, and thus confirmatively establish the difference of at
least nine cubic inches between the mean of the two races.*

NOTE.
It will be observed that the numbers in this Catalogue pertain to the
corresponding skulls of men and animals in the collection, without order or
arrangement of any kind. Thus, where a hiatus occurs in the series of
human crania, the missing numbers will be found with the skulls of the
inferior animals at the end of the Catalogue. The plan here pursued is
merely designed to preserve the identity of the specimens, and to furnish
information to those persons who may examine the collection, which is
deposited in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

* A letter addressed to me by Wm. Cobb Hurry, Esq., of Calcutta,
contains the following particulars of this man's singular career:
" With resard to the cannibal Pierce, all that is known of him is,
that he was a native of Scotland, or the north of Ireland, and a sea-
man. He was a convict in Van Dieman's land, and escaped with
others into the woods. Hunger compelled them to prey upon each
other, till only Pierce and another were left. A romantic tale might
be made from Pierce's own narrative of the feelings with which these
two men watched each other, till, overcome with fatigue, the last of
the band fell a victim. Pierce was relieved by a party who fell in
with him. and the cannibalism of which he had been guilty being
attributed to necessity, was not punished. From that time his
propensities -acquired their full developement. and he succeeded
repeatedly in persuading his fellow prisoners to escape with him, for
the sole purpose of killing them and devouring their flesh. He used
to return secretly to the depot, and persuade a fresh victim that he
had been sent by others who were waiting in the woods. He was
at last caught; and being asked if he knew where one ot his com-

it to the soldiers. Mr. Crockett, from whom I had this account, and
who gave me the skull, is the Colonial Surgeon, and attended Pierce

to me his conviction that Pierce was insane, which, however, did not
prevent him from being hanged."

" Transported to Van Dieman's land in 1820 for house-
breaking ; was orderly on ship-board, but subsequently
robbed his master, for which he was sent for two years to
Maria Island: while there was flogged for combination,
and also received 100 lashes for stealing articles from
the wreck of the Apollo. Returning to Van Dieman's

executed there on the 16th of March, 1837, for the

previously violated." I. C. 91.

" The skull of an African Gree-gree manr or doctor. For
committing some crime he was tried by the ordeal of
drinking red-wood wafer, and being found guilty, was
c it in pieces, and thrown into the St. John's River,
Grand Bassa, Africa, where his skull was found — a very

* I received this and the four preceding skulls through the kindness
of Dr. J. N. Casanova, of Valparaiso, who informed me that the three
heads, Nos. 654, 655, 656, were taken from chiefs killed in an encounter
with the Chilian army under General Bulnes, on the river Bio-Bio, in
1835. I took occasion, however, to intimate to Dr. Casanova my
suspicions that these were not recent crania, inasmuch as they had
yet adhering to them some shreds of a peculiar mummy-cloth common
in the old cemeteries of Peru and Chili, at the same time that they
bore unequivocal evidences of long inhumation. Dr. Casanova,
however, could not suppose that he had been deceived by his agent,
and I therefore published the circumstances as related by him, and
on his authority, in my Crania Americana, page 243. I may add
that, judging from the size and conformation of the skull No. 654, I
inferred that it had belonged not to a chief, as was supposed by Dr. C,
but to a woman.
Subsequent examinations have satisfied me that my suspicions
were well founded; and I am further confirmed in this belief by
comparing these crania with the plates of a series obtained by the
Naturalists of the Astrolabe from an ancient cemetery on the Bio-Bio
river, near its confluence with the Moticha in Chili. It is sufficient
to add that both collections of skulls were evidently obtained from
the same place; and although Dr. Casanova was misled as to
particulars, the crania I received from him pertain to a veritable but
ancient Araucanian tribe, and possess a great interest, both in regard
to their sepulchral locality and their admirably developed charac-
teristics. See Voyage de V Astrolabe : Anthropologic, par le Dr. Dumoutier

The two following crania were found by Mr. Pering,
Civil Engineer, in a gallery leading to the newly dis-
covered chamber in the Pyramid of Five Steps, at
Saccara. These are, perhaps, the most ancient human
remains now extant. Mr. Pering is of opinion that
they date with the erection of the Pyramid, and are
therefore in all probability upwards of 4000 years old.

the face of a sand-hill, sloping towards the sea. The
extent of surface occupied by these tombs, as far as
we explored, I should say was five or six acres. In
many of the tombs three or four bodies were found
clustered together, always in the sifting posture, and
wrapped in three or four thicknesses of cloth, and a
mat thrown over all. Each one has about the person
a pouch or bag, an ear or two of maize, fruit of some
kind, and not unfrequently a drinking vessel." Lima,

1277 Skull of a man, setat. 65, remarkably altered by art into
the elongated, symmetrical form. I. C. 69.
The annexed wood-cut shows the course of the bandages
used in obtaining this singular modification of the
cranium. The forehead was pressed downwards and
backwards by a compress probably of folded cloth.
To keep it in its place, a bandage was carried over it
from the base of the occiput and thence across the
forehead. To confine the lateral portions of the skull,
and in order to produce the symmetrically elongated
form, the same bandage was continued over the top of
the head, immediately behind the coronal suture, pro-
bably with an intervening compress; and the bandaging
was repeated upon these parts until they were immov-
ably confined in the desired position ; thus permitting
the head to expand only in the posterior direction. See
my Illustrated System of Human Anatomy, p. 90.

1319 Skull of John Voorhees, a Mulatto porter, born in Chester

About an hour before his death, he called the nurse to
him, and confessed as follows; That eighteen or
twenty years before, having a hatred against another
boy of his own color, two years younger than himself,
he strangled and killed him. After committing the
murder he became alarmed, and placed the dead body
in a chair near the window, hoping to revive it. He
then fled ; and not having been seen to enter the
house was never suspected of the murder; and the
boy, being found dead in the chair, was supposed to
have died of apoplexy. I have these facts and the

formerly of this city, and now resident of Lima, who
accompanied them with the following memorandum:
" These skulls were all collected from the surface of
three or four huacas (tumuli) within a short distance,
perhaps a couple of miles of each other, having heen
disturbed and left lying there by previous diggers;
that is, by the common people of the country, who are
full of notions about buried treasure. All the huacas
I saw were evidently those of the poorer classes.
"The whole country around Pisco is covered with
Indian remains. It is a rich valley, with a small
stream running through it, and has every appearance
of having been thickly populated and well and exten-
sively cultivated."

MAN.
1455 Skull flattened by art: man, aetat. 50. I. C. 70. Taken
from a mound in Florida. From Dr. Isaac Hulse,
U. S. N., from whom I also received the following
memorandum, A. D. 1849:
" This skull was exhumed from a mound, the apex of
which is about thirty feet above the ground in its
vicinity. The locality is Baldwin county, Alabama,
near Bear Point, on the west side of the Bay of Per-
dido, and about two or three miles north of the shore
of the Gulf of Mexico. Near the apex of the mound
there stood a live oak tree, supposed to be more than
100 years old. Near the foot of this live oak the
party made their excavations, and a few feet below
the surface they found the skull which I have had the
happiness to place among your collection. The skull
was covered with a hollow demi-sphere of pottery,
composed of clay and shell, well burned. Upon the
convex surface were sketched two whales, rather
rudely, but sufficiently well to be recognizable."

1511 Indian cranium, found with the preceding, and also

1512 Aboriginal American; a very remarkable head, found
by Dr. Davis and Mr. Squier in a mound in the Scioto
Valley, Ohio, and described and figured by them in
their " Ancient Mon iments of the Mississippi Valley,"
PI. XLVII. and XLVIII. This is, perhaps, the most
admirably-formed head of the American race hitherto
discovered. It possesses the national characteristics
in perfection, as seen in the elevated vertex, flattened
occiput, great interparietal diameter, ponderous bony
structure, salient nose, large jaws and broad face. It
is the perfect type of Indian conformation, to which
the skulls of all the tribes from Cape Horn to Canada
more or less approximate. Similar forms are common
in the Peruvian tombs, and have the occiput, as in
this instance, so flattened and vertical as to give the
idea of artificial compression ; yet this is only an
exaggeration of the natural form, caused by the pressure
of the cradle-board in common use among the American
nations. Dr. E. H. Davis and E. G. Squier, Esq.
